"Madonna with the Swaddled Infant" (Bartsch E.N. 38) is an engraving by the renowned German artist Albrecht Dürer, created in the late 15th or early 16th century. This work is part of Dürer's extensive oeuvre of religious-themed engravings and reflects the artist's mastery in capturing the intimate moments of the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child. The engraving is characterized by its intricate detail and the use of light and shadow, which was a hallmark of Dürer's prints.

The composition typically features the Virgin Mary holding the swaddled infant Jesus, a subject matter that was immensely popular during the Northern Renaissance. Dürer's interpretation of this theme often highlights the tenderness and maternal affection of Mary, as well as the innocence and vulnerability of the infant Jesus. The use of swaddling clothes in the depiction of Christ is symbolic of both the care provided to newborns and the foreshadowing of Christ's eventual death and burial.

Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528) was a painter, printmaker, and theorist of the German Renaissance. Born in Nuremberg, Dürer established his reputation and influence across Europe when he was still in his twenties due to his high-quality woodcut prints. He was in communication with the major Italian artists of his time, including Raphael, Giovanni Bellini, and Leonardo da Vinci, and from 1512 he was patronized by Emperor Maximilian I.

The engraving "Madonna with the Swaddled Infant" is part of a larger body of Dürer's works that explore religious iconography, and it exemplifies the artist's skill in creating devotional images that were sought after by a wide range of patrons, from the church to private individuals. The piece is also an example of Dürer's technical prowess in the medium of engraving, a process that involves incising a design onto a hard surface by cutting grooves into it.

As with many of Dürer's engravings, "Madonna with the Swaddled Infant" would have been reproduced and disseminated widely, contributing to the spread of the artist's style and the themes of the Northern Renaissance. Today, the engraving is studied for its artistic merit, historical significance, and as a representation of Dürer's religious works. It remains an important piece within the canon of European art history and continues to be admired for its beauty and craftsmanship.
